This is the first comprehensive article I've read on the entire economic problem that I feel like I can grasp. Its 8 pages, but worth every sentence.

The premise is that the financial disaster began with increased predatory lending practices after deregulation of insurance/banking a decade ago, and is now ending with a complete power grab by those same businessmen turned government officials. Particularly damning for the Golmanites, Paulson, Geithner. Also, a nice treatment of the untouchables at the Fed on page 7.

Notice how potential mortgage defaulters are always characterized, humorously, as "meth addicts". Any wonder why his editor wouldn't allow the term "crack heads".... or "welfare queens" ..... or "day laborers".....

Day Laborer would imply that these scumbags actually work, lol. Now we both know that is not true. You hide their welfare check under their work boots and they will end up unable to find it until the day they the move. (dont we wish they would do just that...preferable back to the jungle)
